This simple formulation yields crystal clear sticks when a high quality grade of glycerin is utilized. The gelling temperature of the stick is adjustable by varying the level of Spectrasolv® DMDA (without Spectrasolv® DMDA the gelling temperature is about 68°C; incorporated at 2%, the gelling temperature is reduced to about 55°C).
